  • The Bundestag approved a two-year suspension of family reunification for refugees lacking recognized asylum status.

  • Interior Minister Dobrindt cited strain on social services and the need to dismantle criminal smuggling operations as reasons.

  • The suspension is expected to reduce immigration by 12,000 people per year and save the government up to €46.2 million by 2027.

  • Local governments welcome the move due to capacity concerns, while the Protestant Church condemns the policy for separating families.
  • It is a command of love for one's neighbor that all people, especially refugees and those with subsidiary protection, should not be separated from their closest relatives for years.
    — Christian Stäblein, the refugee commissioner of the Protestant Church, criticizes the plans of Interior Minister Dobrindt.

  • The intelligence service records a nearly 25% rise in right-wing extremists, totaling over 50,000 individuals.
  • Anyone who believes that one can win legally against the AfD and its agitation will experience a rude awakening.
    — Federal Minister of the Interior Alexander Dobrindt warns against an AfD ban procedure and emphasizes the risks of such an approach.
